1991

2002

Location: San Diego, CA

Marital Status: not trapped yet

Children: none

Have you or would you let your kids see Rocky: sure, when I deem that they're old enough

What I'm doing these days: Was a concert Promoter/Talent Agent then quit after college in 1997 to travel the world. Got back in September and am now in Grad School at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine studying Acupuncture, Massage and Herbology.

People from Rocky I've kept in touch with: A few local San Diego friends like Shelley Hon, Tymothi Loving, Brian Beagle, Andi (Stow) Beagle, and Emily Langton

Why I first went to Rocky: dragged kicking and screaming in L.A.

How I started performing: Second time seeing it was my first time at the Ken. I showed up in costume as Riff because in L.A., folks dress up even if they aren't performing. The scheduled Riff didn't show up so Bill Balsley dragged me out of the audience to perform.

Food I ordered after the show: COFFEE and a waitress!!! Grilled cheese and fries with Ranch dressing or breakfast (vegetarian options)

Before the reunion, I last performed: 1993

Before the reunion, I last saw Rocky: last year I went to Janessa Anderson's birthday cast show at The La Paloma and some little kid tried putting a 'V' on my face

Did I buy the Rocky DVD? no

My favorite Rocky memories: Hmmm? Legal or illegal? It was cool seeing Tymothi get arrested. Maybe the first time I tried smoking pot (and took some mushrooms, too). Sex in the back row (Oh! Was that out loud!). Legal stuff, I'd have to say my favorite moment was watching the crazy costumed cast with Pippi Longstocking, Alex from "A Clockwork Orange", and Pee-Wee Herman among others.
